Cables Power and communication free halogen cables are specified for stationary distribution of electrical energy in dry and damp premises. Since they are free from halogens and exhibit enhanced fire performance, FIRES 149/S-10/08/2015-E Page: 2/8
these cables are used in those applications where in the event of fire, the negative effect on concentrations of people and valuable material goods must be minimized. Suitable for hotels, hospitals, underground railways, airport etc. to protect people and technical building equipment in the event of fire where there is requirement for maintaining the functional integrity all cable installation in the event of fire. The cables develop in case of fire low heat released rate and smoke and no burning particles drop away during fire accident. Functional integrity all cable installation in the event of fire is guaranteed only with use specified supporting member and cables grips.

Other classification is not allowed. FIRES 149/S-10/08/2015-E Page: 6/8
4.2 FIELD OF APPLICATION This classification is valid for the following end use applications: - test results are applicable only for tested bearing systems VERGOKAN with cables DÄTWYLER, FABER and PRAKAB; - condition for the validity of direct application of the test results is that the supporting and fixing structure is fixed only to the building structure, which allows the statically required time of fire resistance, i.e. fulfils the criterion R; - throughout the period during which circuit integrity is to be maintained, neighbouring building components shall not have a negative effect on circuit integrity; - although testing is only carried out on cables arranged horizontally, test results also apply to cables arranged either diagonally or vertically (e.g. risers), as long as the cable system is supported in transitional areas (i.e. where it switches from a horizontal to a vertical arrangement) in such a manner that the cables will not slip or kink at corners; - test results of cables tested in cable trays are applicable also for cable trays with cover ensured against movement by appropriate means; - classification for type of cable (by cross-sections and number of conductors) is valid only for tested cable types, number and cross-sections of conductors; - classification for cable is valid for all numbers and cross-sections of tested cable type; - test results of function in fire test of cables tested at standard supporting construction are also applicable for tested standard supporting construction of other producers; - test results of function in fire test of cables tested at standard supporting construction are also applicable for cables of other producers tested at standard supporting construction; - test results of function in fire test of cables at nonstandard supporting construction are valid only for tested construction with particular tested cable type and are also applicable for supporting construction with smaller spacing of consoles and smaller loading; - test results of cables tested in cable trays or ladders are applicable also for cable trays and ladders with particular construction with smaller width as tested with particular smaller loading; - test results of cables tested in bearing system made from steel acc. to STN EN 61537 are applicable also for bearing system made from stainless steel, but not conversely; - test results of cables with five or four conductors are applicable also for cables with less number of conductors apart from cables with one conductor; - if only cables with the smallest or largest cross-section achieve the required function in fire classification, the test results are valid only for the particular cross-section and way of installation - test results of communication cables are applicable also for all numbers and cross-sections of conductors bigger than tested cable type; - test results of cables at ladders or in trays attached at ceiling are applicable also for cables placed in bearing system fixed to wall; - test results of cables tested at cable trays or ladders are applicable also for another products trays and ladders (cross, elbow, T-bend, bends and etc.); - test results of cables tested at cable trays or ladders are applicable also for bearing system with surface treatment (colour paint) with maximum thickness 1 mm; - test result is applicable to cable without connecting elements (e.g. sleeves and junction boxes); - test result is applicable to welded head plate to steel U-shaped ceiling profiles; - heavy joined steel brackets WKM... shall be fixed to steel U-shaped ceiling profiles HSMU from one or from two sides, providing the maximum loading of U-shaped ceiling profiles is not more than during the fire test and only if sufficient type of fixation of the head plates to ceiling is provided; - use the new type of spacer TSU50 instead of spacer HDTSU50; - change the construction of tested console (base of console) type HDHSMU in accordance with drawings in annex.

5. LIMITATIONS Load-bearing construction elements for fixing of cable systems must be proved for at least the same fire resistance compare to classified function in fire of cable system. The construction contractor is solely responsible for proper preparation. This classification document does not represent type approval or certification of the product. The classification is valid until 14. 06. 2021 provided that the product, field of application and standards and regulations are not changed. Approved: Signed: Ing.
